Best Bolt Action - Page 2

Got one Remington 700 in 22-250, and a 77/44 bolt rifle...like both but my next bolt will be th' Ruger 77/357. I'm just more inclined towards the Rugers if "push comes to shove!"...

My Ruger M77 in 270 Win is ammo sensitive but gives me an honest 3/4" @ 100 with the right load combo. I hunt with it so that works just fine for me as I have killed both Caribou and Whitetail with it and have confidence it will deliver the bullet to where it needs to go. Ironically it is my second most accurate firearm with a Savage M99 lever action made in 1954 shooting to 5/8" with an 87gr bullet and the 33gr of 4064. I still can't figure that one out but it works so I'm happy.

Being a southpaw most bolts don't work for me............but the Springfield 03 and Enfields all work great.

I had to vote other. I don't have a Ruger BA. ( hangs head in shame). I will tell you that they are all good guns, but my best is a Thompson Venture .223 an then comes my Savage 100ATR in .308. Damnit now I have to but a Ruger rifle.

Thanks.

I collect war rifles and most are bolt action but I prefer a lever action as I'm a southpaw. I only have one lever action and I shot it so much I broke it. Currently Henry has it and is repairing it.

Not to go to far off subject but I want a Winchester 94 in 30-30, a 9422 and a 9410. Wish I had picked them up when they were affordable.

I now bring you back to your normal bolt action topic.
